I figured I might as well come to the experts here at GeeksToGo for some expert guidance and support on finding parts for my new PC build. I'm working with a budget of $500. I've looked at Newegg and Amazon, trying to find the best deals, but I'm pretty lost as to what grounds to start on. I'd like to be able to run Windows 7 64-bit and play recent games like Diablo III and DotA 2 at max or recommended settings with no issues. I am excluding monitor, sound system, keyboard, and mouse from this build because I already have each of those items.

Gday intelguy77, welcome back.So we can best help you, please supply some more information.

I still need: Mother board, HDD, PSU, Graphics card, Processor, RAM... Am I missing anything else? I think that's it.You will need an OS. If you already have a Windows retail disc (64 bit ver.) and legit key code? you can use it. You will also need an Optical Drive. What would be your budget?What is your ZIP code?
